I installed this and registrations took a huge jump.

Although I don't think it's clearing out the cookies as I've got it set. I have the Register Block Page set to come up after 5 page views, and to be cleared out daily.

It seems I still see the block page too often. What time of day is it meant to clear out?

Thanks.

I don't see any option to clear cookies. You may be mistaking that for the option to clear the db log?

err... yes, my mistake. So does clearing the IP log enable them to start fresh the next day, if I've got it set daily? Or does this still require the users to clear the cookies in their browser?

It was my vague belief that somebody said somewhere that things are cleared in a 24 hour rolling period. But I sure don't want to volunteer to try to find that right now.

Thats correct. You can insure this is working by getting yourself blocked and then manually inning the scheduled task and clearing cookies.

To add you set the clear time but it runs daily

Ted,

Are you aware of any crawlers that are not able to crawl because of your app?

If I have it set to 2 views, is this ok until it blocks them to register?

I also assume your app is a solution for someone who wants to go to a paid subscription system but doesn't want to make forums private because crawlers can't crawl them?

Google has generally been ok with this approach on sites provided that people can see the content at times. For example, many news sites show Google the full article and paid members. This isn't 'tricking' google as the content is really there for people, you just have to be logged in.

As I say in the main thread, I do NOT suggest setting this to 1 or 0 views.

There's a detailed description in the main post and documentation of how crawlers are impacted.

This is not a solution to block people for paid memberships as it is beatable by clearing cookies and/or changing IPs.
